RBI eases EDF rules for service exporters and freelancers
In short
The RBI changed EDF rules for service exporters and freelancers under FEMA. It set a ₹10 lakh threshold for other exporters and also changed IDPMS reporting rules for service imports.
This may make paperwork easier for some exporters and resident individuals. The reporting does not say exactly how much relief people will get or when the changes take effect.
